Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear you had a hardcore religious family. It's good that you're comfortable with yourself now; these things are really hard to overcome sometimes. My extended family is quite similar to what your parents sound like, but my parents aren't massively religious; just conservative. I guess my father would understand, but my mother wouldn't, so I've never gotten around to telling them... and I don't think I will, unless I ever get serious with another woman.

I'm afraid when it comes to family I can offer no advice, as you might imagine, since sofar as I'm concerned I never had family. Oddly I think this actually helped me accept being homosexual, since I always knew given how awful they were just how full of shit their religious beliefs also were.

That actually makes sense. I hope you've found a new, better family from friends. :)
